I think Lloyd would develop a stress disorder

[Lenny7092]

Hi, guys. After I've seen Seasons 1-15, Lloyd has been through a lot. I mean, look at his life.

Season 1 (early 2012): It's all started when Lloyd was little, he was taken to Darkley's School for Bad Boys because of his father, Lord Garmadon, being evil because of the Great Devourer venom in him. Lloyd tried to fit in, but the people over there rejected him. Lloyd was misguided, so he tried to be a villain, like his father. However, things did not go well when the Ninja always thwarted him and the Serpentine rejected and abandoned him. Sensei Wu came in and taught Lloyd how to be good. Lloyd truly has a good heart, so he became a good guy. He lives with the Ninja and Nya. When the Serpentine were trying to unleash the Great Devourer, Lloyd regretted releasing them. He was captured by them when he was spying on them. Lord Garmadon did not want Lloyd to be evil like him. The Serpentine abused Lloyd and then almost got him killed in the lava when Kai saved Lloyd from the lava. When Lloyd discovered that he is destined to become the Green Ninja and thought that he would have to fight his father in a prophecy, Lloyd felt more distanced from his father, making Lloyd and his father feel sad. Lloyd and his father had a talk about this. Lloyd was training to become the Green Ninja.

Season 2 (late 2012, should have been 2013 because of the Stone Army): When Lloyd and the Ninja were fighting the Grundel, Lloyd was about to use Tomorrow's Tea on the Ninja and Grundel when the Ninjago warned him that he would accidentally make himself older. Lloyd ignored the warning and used the tea to restore the Ninja's normal ages and defeat the Grundel (quite messy). This caused Lloyd to grow older to become a teenager, to the Ninja's age. Lloyd misses playing with kids and his childhood since. When he was fighting his father, he did not want to hurt him at first, and then was scolded by his mother named Misako about it. Lloyd then wanted to fight his father for the good of Ninjago, even when the Overlord possessed Lord Garmadon's body. Lloyd cured his father by destroying the venom in him, making him good again. Lloyd and his father got along very well since.

Season 3 (2014): Lloyd and Garmadon were spending time together. When Zane was "destroyed", Lloyd felt sad about it.

Season 4 (early 2015): Lloyd had a hard time telling the Ninja to replace Zane. However, they discovered that Zane is alive. When Lloyd learned about his father having cheated his mother before Lloyd was born, he was surprised. When Kai played double-agent on Master Chen, he made Lloyd think that he betrayed him. When Chen and his cult were using their Anacondrai forms to win a battle against Lloyd and his allies, Lloyd was forced to do a spell that sent his father to the Cursed Realm. Lloyd misses his father since.

Season 5 (late 2015): Lloyd was possessed by Morro, who wanted to become the Green Ninja, despite not destined to. Later, Morro got out of Lloyd's body. When Lloyd went inside the Cursed Realm, he wanted to break his father out, but the father refused to be rescued. When Nya destroyed the Cursed Realm indirectly, the father was killed.

Season 7 (2017): When Sensei Wu was enchanted to age rapidly by Acronix's use of the Fast-Forward Blade, Lloyd was pressured to become the new master of the Ninja. He had a hard time with that.

Season 8 (early 2018): Lloyd got naturally older (he looks and sounds different). When he met Harumi, he fell in love with her, but Harumi revealed to be a villain who toyed with his feelings. Harumi was angry at the Ninja for not protecting her parents from the Great Devourer. She used the Oni Masks to turn Lloyd’s father evil again. Lloyd tried to make his father good again through words, but the father was a completely different villain who didn't listen to him and said that he doesn't have a son. Lord Garmadon's memories wiped out. Lloyd could not beat him at first.

Season 9 (late 2018): Lloyd also had a bit of a hard time fighting Lord Garmadon when Lord Garmadon took over Ninjago City. Lord Garmadon has a bit of good heart, despite being cursed to being evil. When Harumi was getting killed in a collapsing building caused by Lord Garmadon's Oni Titan, Lloyd felt bad for her. When Lloyd was able to beat him this time by dodging his attacks, Lord Garmadon told him about the Oni coming.

Season 10 (early 2019): Lloyd hated his father for being evil. Lord Garmadon was kind enough to help Lloyd and the Ninja fight the Oni, despite Lloyd not trusting Lord Garmadon. After the Ninja and their allies defeated the Oni, Lloyd was almost killed, and Lord Garmadon disappeared.

Season 11 (late 2019): When Lloyd had one of the Sacred Scrolls of Fortbidden Spinjitzu, it made him bad-tempered. Lloyd befriended a wolf, who turned out to be a Formling girl in disguise. Lloyd didn't like that she didn't tell him about herself earlier. When Lloyd learned that the Ice Emperor was Zane, he tried to make Zane remember himself, but Zane did not remember. The girl tried to destroy Zane for her problems unintentionally caused by him. Lloyd tried to convince her to stop doing that, but she didn't listen. However, Zane got his memories back.

Season 12 (early 2020): When Lloyd fought a virtual clone of Harumi, the clone toyed with his feelings. However, Lloyd knew the difference between the real Harumi and fake Harumi, so he was able to beat the clone, but he was defeated as well. He got turned into an energy cube, but he changed back.

Season 13 (late 2020): Lloyd did not trust the princess of the Mountain at first because of his experience with Harumi at first, but Lloyd grew to befriend her. He had a hard time convincing those M-named troll people to unite with the G-named elf people and fight against the Skull Sorcerer.

The Island (early 2021): Lloyd had a hard time convincing Twitchy to help him fight the Islanders.

Season 14 (late 2021): When Nya became a Water being and disappeared, Lloyd missed her.

Season 15 (2022): Lloyd was working as a window cleaner. When the Ninja tried to rejoin them and stop some criminals from stealing Vengestone, Lloyd initially refused, but he eventually rejoined the Ninja. He and the Ninja were not doing well with their task, however, and they were ridiculed by the New Ninja. When Nya came back, Lloyd was happy to see her again, though Nya was about to go back to being water. Lloyd and the Ninja forced themselves free Aspheera from her prison. The Ninja had a hard time convincing Aspheera to change Nya back to her normal form. After Nya changed back, Lloyd reluctantly let Aspeera escape and then he and the Ninja got arrested for freeing her. The Ninja had a tough time in prison. Lloyd was captured by the Crystal Council, and he discovered that Harumi is alive. She was revived by the Overlord in a plan to use an army of Crystal warriors to take over Ninja. Lloyd tried to convince Harumi that the Overlord cannot be trusted, but Harumi did not listen and instead toyed with his feelings again. Lloyd looked at her as misguided and emotionally troubled, and he still cared for her, so he tried to make her leave the Council. Harumi toyed Lloyd's feelings so much that he started trying to use his Oni powers for anger, as he wanted to destroy Harumi and her new accomplice called Mister F. Lloyd was surprised to see Lord Garmadon trying to be peaceful and help the Ninja with their recent adventures secretly. Lord Garmadon agreed to help Lloyd use his Oni powers to fight the Crystal Council, but Lord Garmadon was rough on Lloyd. This made Lloyd so angry that he wanted to use his Oni powers to beat the hack out of his father, but he stopped. The Ninja were shocked to see his Oni powers. When Lloyd and his father were working together, Lloyd was frustrated with him for his lack of knowledge in some things, saddening him a little bit. Lloyd also said he did not want to become such a villain like him. Lloyd still didn't trust his father. When the Overlord revealed that he corrupted the Great Devourer, Harumi became good and started helping Lloyd and his father fight the Overlord. When Lord Garmadon pretended to be killed by the Overlord, Lloyd got so angry that he unleashed the full potential of his Oni powers to try to defeat the Overlord, but Lloyd did not like this, so he stopped. He defeated the Overlord with the Ninja's elemental powers in a non-angry way. When Lord Garmadon revealed that he was actually alive, Lloyd was annoyed by that. Harumi and Lloyd got along well when they were working with Lloyd's allies in rebuilding Wu's Monastery. Lord Garmadon got along with Lloyd a little better.

Rise of the Dragons (2023): Lord Garmadon, Harumi, and Lloyd's friends went missing. Lloyd is teaching these two kids to be heroes. Lloyd is trying to look for his friends, family, and allies.

So, in my analysis, Lloyd is suffering some kind of stress disorder because of these events. He is mentally tortured, traumatized, and some things did not go the way he wanted. I am not sure if Lloyd changed back to his original age (I think he somehow did in between Seasons 7 and 8 due to Lloyd and Harumi seeming to have the same age naturally), or Lord Garmadon being cured from his evil again (I would think this may have happened in between Season 15 and Rise of the Dragons), but I hope these will happen for Lloyd's sanity.

I would think that in a future story arc or Lego World Builder Ninjago story where Lloyd would think about all of his problems, and he would become so insane that he would hurt people who were being mean to him while he would be possessed by something evil from some villain that curses people to become insane. He would badly hurt the Serpentine, the Crystal Council, Harumi, and Garmadon to get his revenge, like a chaotic monster. The Ninja, Wu, Misako, Harumi, and Garmadon would try to talk some sense into Lloyd, but Lloyd wouldn't listen. The Ninja and their allies would admit that it is their fault that Lloyd is crazy. They would develop a plan to make Lloyd sane again. The Ninja would have to find a cure to Garmadon's evil again and change Lloyd back to his original age (if they haven't already) to try to help with Lloyd's condition. The Ninja and their allies would give Lloyd a hug, apologize to him for not being there for him more often, and Harumi and Garmadon would apologize to Lloyd for being his enemies. Lloyd would finally come to his senses, and the Ninja would get rid of the curse from Lloyd. Lloyd would go back to his normal self completely, both physically and mentally. Peace will be restored. That would be something that you could make a fanfic about. Steven Universe’s Future mini-series in 2020 and Hero Factory’s The Enemy Within episode in 2010 are like that, so yes.

Sorry for a lot of writing, but that's my theory.
